Chapter 3 idle talk
Only the empire is bright. In the days shrouded in darkness, the role of the black ice platform is extremely important. There is never pure darkness in the world. In the light, the black ice platform represents darkness, and in the darkness, the black ice platform
The platform is the weak and powerful star lamp in the sky.
In this majestic and majestic empire, the two leaders of the Black Ice Platform have power second only to His Majesty the Emperor. There are few things in the empire that can cause them to fall into endless silence.
The situation in front of him seemed particularly weird. The Master Taicheng, who was hiding in the darkness on the high dark platform, had an unspeakable expression on his face, with countless worries and thoughts wandering back and forth in his eyes. Finally, he was silent for a long time, and the silence in the hall ended.
Let out a long sigh.
Ji Zhichang stared at the colorless stone slab on the ground. If it were not for the dark night and there was no light, he would definitely be able to see his face reflected on the ground. The face covered by the black mask had a slight bulge on the cheek.
It's an extremely hideous scar.
In the history of the establishment of the Black Ice Platform, there were very few incidents that could cause the two controllers to fall silent at the same time. When that famous and out-of-this-world cultivator entered the world twenty years ago, countless cultivators in the empire were trembling with fear.
, even the imperial army continued to gather.
It was not a war, but it was better than a war without flesh and blood. No one died in this battle, but it shocked the imperial cultivators enough that Black Ice Platform sent secret envoys one after another, just to know the whereabouts of the strong man so that he could do something better.
Inadequate remedies.
The abandoned disciples of Tianchi and Yuye had an epiphany and broke through the realms one after another until they became the first saints in the world to break through the seven realms. In the past, other countries were fine, but the abandoned disciples of Tianchi became worldly saints and had a great influence on the empire.
It is extremely ironic, but also extremely exciting.
Practitioners in the Destiny Realm are already beings that Black Ice Platform cannot control and follow, and saints who have broken through the Seventh Realm only feel cold all over the Black Ice Platform, and they don’t even have the courage to reach out. At those times, Tai Cheng sat on the high platform
Above, he stared blankly at the west, constantly hoping in his heart that the strong man would not do anything that would endanger the empire or even endanger the world.
Fortunately, later on, the saint began to live in seclusion in the empire, rarely touching the affairs of the empire, and regained a temporary calm, which allowed the sweaty Heibingtai to relax a little and be able to do his best to do what he could.
Now that I heard that the prince left the palace and entered the palace, the meaning may not be that profound in the eyes of others, but for powerful people like Tai Cheng and Ji Zhichang who are well versed in various affairs of the empire and interpersonal personality, they can understand that His Highness the Crown Prince
What terrible hidden dangers are contained in these simple actions.
The empire is already suffering from internal and external troubles, and His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior will only make matters worse, destroying the empire's thousand-year foundation.
Tai Cheng finally straightened his body. His upright and thin figure fell exactly in the center of the seat. It was very suitable. He asked in a deep voice: "Regarding the matter of His Highness, the most elite secret envoys have been sent out during this period.
We must keep track of the prince's whereabouts in every detail, record everything, and report every day to ensure nothing goes wrong."
For such an order, given to the moody Crown Prince, he always felt that it was unreliable. However, Ji Zhichang knew very well about the current situation that this was the only thing they could do, so he definitely nodded seriously: "Before coming in, I
We have already sent people to select the most elite secret envoys. After reporting to you, I will make arrangements. Do we need to inform His Majesty about this matter?"
The figures were shaking in the darkness, and no specific movements could be seen. Tai Cheng said: "Your Majesty also went to the academy a few days ago. The old man passed away after drinking wine. He must have gone to the mourning hall. The possibility of them meeting is extremely high. For such a thing, can
If you don’t want to disturb, don’t disturb. When things are out of control, just tolerate them!”
Ji Zhichang agreed very much: "Your Majesty is right, I will do it when I get down..."
Having said that, just as he was about to turn around and leave, instructions came from the high platform again: "Don't slack off on His Majesty's affairs, and don't forget about Guan Zhongzi's entry into Xianyang. A wise man with a clear conscience, a person at the peak of destiny."
The top swordsman, no matter his identity, is extremely dangerous to the empire, the royal family, and the people. It would be better to find out as soon as possible."
After listening to Tai Cheng's instructions, Ji Zhichang instantly recalled the forgotten information. He immediately lowered his legs that were about to walk. After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said: "There is something, I don't know if I should tell you?
"
Tai Cheng said in a confused tone: "What's the matter?"
Ji Zhichang gritted his teeth and said: "According to the secret envoy in the academy, please report..."
The roaring applause was like thunder, beating the air and making an ear-piercing sound. Ji Zhichang groaned, flew backwards, covered his chest and coughed twice, with bloodshot eyes hanging from the corners of his lips. He immediately stood up, lowering his head and trembling.
There was impermanent rage in the darkness, and even the cold murderous intention burst out: "Many years ago, I told you not to place any secret envoys in the academy, no matter what the purpose is.
...Are you taking what I said as a deaf ear?"
One moment they were gentle to each other, and the next moment they were full of majesty and domineering, and the darkness was full of unbearable anger. Ji Zhichang remained silent and just knelt down on the ground. The ground where his knees touched instantly broke into pieces.
The anger is still there, it just doesn't explode anymore.
Tai Cheng took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Remember what I said, no matter whether the old Jijiu passed away or not, the secret envoy of Heibingtai is not allowed to enter the academy. This is an ironclad order."
Ji Zhichang nodded muffledly.
Asked again in the darkness: "Tell me what you were going to say just now!"
Ji Zhichang sorted out his chaotic thoughts and stood up slowly. His knees were already wet, with a dark red blood-like dampness. He said in a deep voice: "Before Lao Jijiu passed away, there were two people who went up Nanshan. The first one was Guan Zhongzi.
, and then the Shaoxiang..."
The dark hall has not been exposed to light all year round, so it has naturally become cold and damp. It rained violently a few days ago. At this time, the humidity in the hall slowly came out in the middle of the night. The minister on the high platform twisted his body and touched the narrow seat.
skin, he spoke after a moment.
"Gan Luo came from the academy, so it's understandable when you go there. Guan Zhongzi went south, but he didn't know the reason at all. Moreover, he entered the academy during the recruitment period. His plans are unimaginable!"
Ji Zhichang said: "When Guan Zhongzi was on Nanshan, His Majesty happened to be out of the city. He was assassinated by a practitioner outside the city. I wonder if the two are related?"
As Ji Zhichang finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the hall again. Tai Cheng was still twisting his body itchingly, trying to use the narrow seat to rub against his body.
"So, Guan Zhongzi had nothing to do with Lao Jijiu's death?"
Ji Zhichang: "..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the palace, and someone reported: "He appeared..."
Ji Zhichang's expression suddenly froze, his eyes narrowed slightly and a cold light appeared. In a moment, a dark figure flashed past in front of his eyes, and only a cold voice could be heard in the air.
